UFO Sighting Report - United Kingdom

April 18th 2009 : Blair Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland

Location of Sighting: Blair Atholl Perthshire Scotland U.K.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: To naked eye. Roundish video shows it to be a diamond shape.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: 10.10pm - A very bright fiery red light was seen travelling apparently slowly in a westerly direction. The light was flickering, the object was silent, there was no wind and the sky clear and starry, no moon. It's progress was steady, quickly getting fainter and smaller suggesting that it was moving at speed and climbing steeply (if it had not been climbing it would soon have been hidden by the hills) it was soon just a faint dot and gone. Total observation 2-3 minutes.

10.55pm - From the same location another was seen exactly the same followed 30 seconds by another they also travelled westrly following roughly the same path as the other at 10.10pm. Their description is exactly as the first, flickering very bright fiery red and silent. Their progress was also no different, fading to nothing in a few minutes. Total observation 3-5 minutes.

The direction of travel was to Kinloch Rannoch some 15 miles (as crow flies) where an earlier observation was reported 1/1/2009. My nearest obs point was approx 1 mile. Linked circumstantially but not physically observed. Was that directly over head appeared a very bright light moving NW 1-2 minutes after each of the observation times i.e.10.13pm to 10.15pm and again at 10.58pm to 11.03. This light was 4 times as bright as Venus and speed similar to a passenger airliner at cruise height, not on a normal flight path though and silent, this light continued NW faded very quickly. I could not guess at the speed of any of the objects as being dark there was nothing to gauge them by.

This in many ways is simmilar to the 1 January 2009 report on Kinloch Rannoch where 5 objects were seen, to assist in any investigation, where the observer was told of military test grounds nearby. There are no military test grounds anywhere near Kinloch Rannoch, all areas are totally unrestricted for anybody at any time excepting during the Deer Stalking when it is advised to ask estate managers to access hills etc. RAF uses all of the Scottish Highlands for low level flying this is always noisy. If I can find an email address I will send you extracted from video photos these are unfortunately black and white, but unedited.

Thank you to the witness for the report and photos of what was observed.
